I want OFF the road....

Anyone have those days where it seems it may be bad for your health to remain on the road anymore?

Yesterday while headed home from work, I had eight, EIGHT, emergency vehicles go by (nine if you count the single on that DIDN'T have it's lights and sirens on) within 5 minutes. Seemed like every 30-40 seconds, here comes another one comes down the opposite lane. by the fifth one, I was thinking "well what on earth is going on back there?" and by the eighth, "WTF could be happening?!?" I looked on the local news websites and the local evening news for a hint of what was going down, but couldn't find anything. My sisters guess was some apartment fire or something that required all of those vehicles to be there. I could just think that I was glad I wasn't heading in that direction.

I've had a couple of times when going to or from work where it seems like every other mile theres a wreck, or someone pulled over for speeding or something. I'd be like "I don't wanna be on the road anymore today".

And this is all besides the big semi's that'll cut you off, the people in their big HEMI pickups that can't pick a lane and drive sanely.
